Gossip: Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon
A conversation between Carey and a nurse about drinking Guinness stout to improve milk flow while breast-feeding resulted in a visit from child protective services officials.
Child protective services officials in Los Angeles paid Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon a visit at the hospital shortly after the recent birth of their twins, said RadarOnline.com. The actor and comedian told CNN’s Piers Morgan last week that the visit was based on a conversation overheard between Carey and a nurse about drinking Guinness stout to improve milk flow while breast-feeding. “They were saying that my wife was drinking beer and all this stuff,” Cannon said, calling the investigation “ridiculous.”
